You did things the right way. Try small fixes and only look at larger fixes if those don't work. Escalating responses as required. I can't help you with Acronis though as my imager of choice is Macrium Reflect.
My travelling wasn't to do with work, I'm pleased to say - I was taking in the sights and sounds of the Edinburgh Festival!
So, we still have the problem of the loss of sound when resuming from sleep (presumably, as opposed to hibernation). Yes, give the Mint 7.3 disk a whirl. Even give a 8.2 disk a try. If you don't experience the problem with either/both then you could create a new partition and install the new version of Mint to that partition to carry out a more thorough test.

Well now, Edinburgh, as in Scotland?
I've never been but have and had many UK friends, one in Matlock, in the Peak District and then in Gosport on the South coast. Also have one in NSW in Oz who was from England. The internet sure makes the world smaller doesn't it? I met all of them using amateur radio.
I know a lot of guys use Macrium Reflect with good success, I got started with Acronis years back and it's been very good to me all in all. The glitch that hammered me was of my own doing, I made the mistake of trying to replace Grub and the 7 bootloader as well as the just Mint, which is all I would have needed. Oh well it's working now.
Yes I use the S-3 (standby) in the BIOS and coming out of it is where I lose the audio. I don't use hibernate in either OS, they say it's not the best if you have an SSD, too many read/write cycles.
I'm in the process of looking for a driver for the sound card that will work in Linux, plus using the 7.3 Live DVD. If I was to install it does it overwrite all the installed programs I have and any mods to the system? So far the 17.3 is working fine I don't see any errant behaviour so far....but I can wait and see, no hurry to get into another schamozzle!
Of course I can work around the sound going off by simply shutting the machine off each time. I always have sound from a cold boot, it never effects W7 just Mint.
the sound card is a SupremeFX X-fi by Creative and came with the Asus motherboard, not part of the board however.

Note there is no Creative SupremeFX X-fi card even listed....The graphics card was recently replaced in an effort to stop a problem in W7, it didn't. But during the install I was asked to install HD sound drivers and didn't do it since I have an audio card already. But, I DO have sound, it just goes away at times when I wake up the machine. I'd think if it needed a driver there'd be no sound at all until one was installed. So where is the sound coming from? Others who have the same sound card and run that command, are able to indicate by the results that the card is installed.
